And I the other way. (Aside from my other problems with Sony ;))

After watching you play PS2, I do appreciate the pretty blue light, but
the games haven't really taken advantage of the vaunted hardware. Of course,
to their credit, it is a bunch of flagship software (which never really shows
hardware's true potential), one of the games you rented was crap, and the
other two are made by the same company. However, none of the intro games (nor
any shipping soon) have really pulled my potato. That'll come around,
eventually (assuming that the X-Box doesn't swipe away all the developers
(*ahem*Oddworld*ahem*)), but Sony relies too much on 3rd party developers
that are quick to clone the hottest trends to make their money. Nintendo
has Miyamoto, and Sega has developers that range from "smoking something
cool" to "damn, why didn't I think of that?".

Eventually, Metal Gear Solid X won't be out until far later (2002?). JS/GR, 
Seaman, and Shenmue are here now. (Well, Shenmue on 11/7) And to believe I
first bought my Dreamcast to play Zombie Revenge. That'll show me!

Of course, like I told you, my preferences lie in a different direction than
racing games, sports games, and Square's "CGI masquerading as an RPG" games.
;) To each their own. :)

(here's to hoping Square makes a story that interests me again!)
